Jimmy started painting when he was three years old, and when he was five, he
was already very good at it. He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures,
and people paid a lot of money for them. They said, "This boy's going to
be famous when he's little older, and then we're going to sell these pictures
for a lot more money."

Jimmy's pictures were different from other people's because he never painted
on all of the paper. He painted on half of it, and the other half was always
empty.

"That's very clever," everyone said, "Nobody else does that!"

One day somebody bought one of Jimmy's pictures and then said to him, "Please
tell me this, Jimmy. Why do you paint on the bottom half of your pictures, but
not on the top half?"
